A Puzzle for the Architect Types
-
Anssi- St. Petri Church, Klippan, Sweden by Sigurd Lewerentz. Nice choice- it's easily one of the inspirational buildings I've visited. For anyone who wonders what all the fuss is about, this unassuming brick church manages to transcend modernism, but is so effortlessly rooted in tradition as to feel almost primeval; unlike so much contemporary architecture it defies photography (both through its subtlety and its incredibly dark interiors), but rewards visitors with an experience unlike any building I've yet experienced (though I hear Corb's Sainte-Marie de La Tourette is similarly moving).
My only vaguely in-focus interior shot; I must take my tripod the next time.
-
Hmmm... good one Anssi- I don't recognise it. Not something by Odo of Metz is it?

Dizain, I think it is the Philharmonie in Berlin by Scharoun.
Jackson, you are absolutely right. It is a place I won't forget, saw it almost 20 years ago.
This one I find similarly evocative:

Is it something Mendini and Hollein concocted together to torture us?
Seriously, though - Mendini?
Clueless.
-
Anssi,
Is that not the Constantine Baptistery in Rome?
-
Strike horse!!! Battistero nella Basilica di S. Giovanni in Laterano Roma.
-
You can put that way, too.
-
Dizain, yes, it is the Lateran baptistry. I remember that the atmosphere was much more mysterious when I saw it than in the Google search photograph. Let's hope that it has not been overly "restored"

So then it must be the neighbouring library, also by Scharoun?

I would've said that was way too new to be Scharoun- looks like something by Coop Himmelblau or Michael Wilford. Dizain- Is it in Berlin? We need clues!
-
My Pic didn't get much play. I guess it wasn't as easy as I thought. Here's a hint.
I see it all the time so it's second nature to me!try this one. . .it's A little more International. . .

How about this?

Alexander John Jordan, Jr. (March 3, 1914, Madison, Wisconsin – November 6, 1989) was best known as the creator of the House on the Rock, an eccentric architectural and entertainment attraction in Spring Green, Wisconsin.
I'm no architecture buff, just did some research.
-
Good work.
I gave you a clue with the file name, didn't I?
-
The first pic David posted is of the organ in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. I admit to some fierce Googling.

Yes you did
Anyone gonna guess this??
-
How'd you get a picture inside my house?
-
We'd know that now as you told.
-
Oops.
-
Nice crib Dave, but who's your architect?
